As a Tree feels its Bark

adventuressmalik

I waited for some sign,

you sent me one yesterday,

which didn’t seem to be true

but I accepted it anyway.

 

It doesn’t make sense to me

whatever you wrote and said.

You are the queen of your heart

but you use your mind instead.

 

Changing narrative over a time,

was a clear giveaway.

Those who want to leave,

nothing can stop them go away.

 

I would like to let you go

despite the ache in my heart.

It seemed to be in rough waters,

from the very start.

 

Letting go is also painful,

that's what I slowly realise.

You’ve crushed a dream dear,

that's what I summerise.

 

I will tell you the truth,

won't keep you in the dark,

I feel you around me

as a tree feels its bark.

  • Comment from author about the poem: It is rare that both fall in love together. Mostly one feels for the other and expresses his love not only by words but first by actions and awaits some sign. Sometimes this sign is not sufficient enough or not as expected and he again expresses how these feelings surround him.

    Love can come in so many different ways and often surprises people.

      Thank you Andy. It does sometimes so completely.

      Sounds like dead bark hanging on a live tree . Nice write.

      Dried up but not dead, also depends on our notion of life. Thank you
